Boutique Hotel Commissions Graffiti Camouflage

The Cooper Square Hotel is getting painted with graffiti in an attempt â€œto fit in with the edgy local art scene.” Four artists, Joyce Pensato, Nick 1, Vizie and Shinique, have been paid to paint the 5th street facade of the 21-story boutique hotel in various shades of grey. â€œAll the work is going to be different,â€ Vizie tells the Post. Below his â€œTropical Fantasyâ€ tribute to Dash Snow, who overdosed at another swank hotel around the corner, an apparent portrait of Homer Simpson is taking shape towards the wallâ€™s expected completion on November 10th.
